This Air-Fryer Chicken Breast with Pineapple Salsa is juicy chicken breast perfection by using the Air-fryer. The sweet freshness of the salsa is the perfect complement and the tanginess from the pineapple will make the chicken breast even more tender. Enjoy it with green salad or soba. What a wonderful meal for a summer gym day!

Cooking Instructions
1.
In a mixing bowl, add Fresh Cilantro (1 bunch), Garlic (1 clove), Pineapples (1 cup), Lime (1/2), Brown Sugar (1 tsp), Fish Sauce (1/2 tsp), and Tajin (1/4 tsp). Mix well, then cover and keep in the fridge.
2.
Place the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (2) on the cutting board. Cover with cling wrap. Use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breast until it is evenly thick.
3.
In a large bowl, add Fish Sauce (1 Tbsp), Lime (1/4), Honey (1 tsp), Vegetable Oil (1 Tbsp), and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp). Mix well to combine.
4.
Add the chicken breast to the marinade, and coat well. Wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 1 hour). Take out the chicken from the fridge before cooking. Let it come to room temperature.
5.
Spray the basket with oil, then place the chicken breast in. Cook for 5 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
6.
Flip and cook for 4 minutes more. Or cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7.
Rest the chicken for around 2 minutes, then slice.
8.
Serve with Salad Mix (to taste) and salsa.
